Jezebel - Iron and Wine Cover

This is the first cover song I’ve ever really recorded in my 15 years of playing and recording.

The guitar and voice are each full continuous takes, I didn’t want to do comping (copy and pasting), though the vocal harmony parts were done in sections because they were impossible as all hell.

I have an incredible amount of respect for Sam Beam after attempting to record this tune. He is an absolutely gifted and amazing singer. Going back and listening to the original was overwhelmingly humbling to me.

Very nice! Great guitarwork (and excellently delicate vocals)... The opening brings me back to old Simon and Garfunkel in just about every way. Well done, Sudara!

A really lovely song. My only experience of Iron and Wine was their album with Calexico which is amazing so will check out more!

Great acoustic recording! Great performance! I've never heard of Iron and Wine before. I'll have to check Samuel Beam out. Fantastic!

One of my favorite Sam Beam songs - and you do it more than justice - an absolutely beautiful cover, and an immaculate recording. Outstanding.

Guest said October 5, 2008 7:41pm

What a coincidence! I was listening to a Iron and Wine cover from Kina Grannis (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jzhp1Nd92kA) today and now I discovered you did one, too. Good work! Martin

Richard Hardrick said October 2, 2008 1:42pm

wow... this is a great song man. Really a good work.

Guest said October 1, 2008 2:46pm

Nice cover, man. Really good version. Would love to hear more.

jennifer said September 22, 2008 2:22am

Big Iron and Wine fan. Nice work Su! Sweet corners in your voice.

Colin Garvey said September 22, 2008 12:04am

Wow! I didn't know you were a singer as well...

VIVIAN CIRCLE said September 21, 2008 4:27pm

Beautiful. A great great thing...

Johnny Stone said September 20, 2008 9:16am

Thats nice I have never heard this one before

andy hentz said September 19, 2008 5:34am

Jeez Su - this sounds beautiful - at the risk of sounding like a broken record I want to say how great your voice has gotten, you've tamed that beast! I just about wet my drawers when the harmonies kicked in!

Lalo Oceja said September 17, 2008 2:08pm

very cool

Guest said September 16, 2008 11:17pm

Granmardie says 'that's not the Jezebel song I know'. But she sat with me and we both enjoyed so much the haunting melody. I especially like (love) your accompaniment to your voice. I wonder how you flesh it all out with bell-like sounds. I really really enjoy your rendition. Granshad

This is one of my favorite songs and this is a very beautiful rendition. Loverly....
